Authors

Abstract
As per the Patanjalyogsutra, the state of 'Dhyana' or Meditation is
attained when an individual experiences a consistent state of consciousness for
a prolonged period. The 'Yog Vasishtha' posits that the origin of all actions
lies in the mind, which formulates a plan of action that is subsequently
executed by the physical body. Furthermore, the manifestation of pain occurs
initially in the mental realm before it is expressed in the physical medium,
which is referred to as 'Vyadhi'. This condition may manifest in various forms,
both known and unknown. The
extant literature on diverse meditation techniques suggests that meditation can
potentially mitigate the impact of karmic imprints stored in the karmashaya.
Karmaj Vyadhis, or ailments that are deemed incurable by conventional medical
treatments, may be ameliorated or even cured through meditation practices.
Furthermore, meditation may also serve as a preventive measure against future
illnesses. One such meditation method is Shawasan Dhyan or Atmayog Sadhana.
Empirical evidence from practitioners who have undergone this technique
indicates a heightened sense of self-awareness. The present study utilized a questionnaire consisting of 13 items to
collect data from a sample of 45 individuals who are practitioners of Aatmayog
Sadhana across varying time periods. The analysis of the collected data is
being conducted in accordance with established research methodology.
